I say this as a general statement and not to argue about whether this should or shouldn't have been the case with Diana, Mary and Cindy.
Diana has always been very hands-on, in a business sense, so she navigated and directed the situation herself, as she would with any business proposal. She came into it as a business partner, partially financing the tour herself, with major support from the tour promoter companies, TNA/SFX. This kind of business move was not super common at that time, but that's what made Diana the unique trailblazing business woman that she's been. Dolly Parton is the same way. They like to be in control of their business.
